How it works

Every re:form session follows a three-part sequence: Encounter, Engage, and Respond.
In each session, youth gather to watch a hilarious animated video, tap their creativity for activities that involve doodling, constructing, and journaling, and then share thoughts and ideas about the session's question.
Session resources are available as a complete curriculum, in bundles, or a la carte.
